The people behind the standard.

Dawn Sizer

Dave Sizer

COO & Co-Founder

Dave built a career making technology behave itself for business owners and operations leaders, with a knack for translating "IT problem" into "solved problem" without the usual jargon. When he's not architecting network security or guiding clients through business challenges, he's been known to bring the same systematic rigor to a 40-year-old tabletop RPG collection, proof that whether it's a server rack or a set of dice, Dave likes things organized and running smoothly.

Eric Evans

Outside of work, he enjoys playing Destiny and Warframe, where he's logged more hours than he'd care to admit.

Connor Sizer

Computer Technician

Connor has been with 3rd Element since 2018, splitting his time between day-to-day operations and special projects. Which, in practice, means if something unusual needs solving, it usually lands on his desk first. Outside of the office you can find him at the beach or an aquarium taking in the sharks and fish.
